Partner not as excited as I’d expected

How excited are your husbands about your pregnancy and the growing baby in your bellies? Mine doesn’t feel like he’s very excited about it. He doesn’t asks how is the baby doing today, is it kicking, how do you feel today etc.. Are your husbands like that too? Am I over thinking things? Just feel like I’m the only excited one here.

how many weeks are you now? mine was not as excited as i would like him to be, during my first and early second trimester. once the baby starts to move/ when he felt baby’s movements, i could tell that he was beginning to be excited about baby, talking to baby etc. previously i was the one talking to baby every night and asking him if he wants to say goodnight to baby. now that he felt baby’s movements, he will talk to baby every night before sleeping don’t think so much as i read an article that husband will only feel that things are getting real at the later stage of pregnancy or when baby is out!

I’m at 21 weeks now. Hmm I’m the only one talking to the baby now haha. I’ll even have to move his hand on my belly for him to feel the baby kicking, but he never initiates. Yeah I believe so too. It’s impossible for men to understand how it’s like for us growing a little baby in our bellies. Maybe at a later stage, reality will finally sink in for him 🤣
